23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Back to form in refitted cheekpieces lately and has been placed on her last three starts; should be thereabouts once again. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back in form since returned to cheekpieces of late, latterly when beaten a nose by Belle Of Kt at Bath a fortnight ago; 6lb better off with her old rival and her last win came round here off 3lb higher, so there are reasons for optimism. |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Seven wins at up to 1m4f; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over this far and not very reliable nowadays but gave pretty good account when third in refitted cheekpieces here (11.6f, firm) 16 days ago. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Four wins on the AW and 1-17 on grass; ran in snatches when never dangerous at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) two months ago and since left Ian Williams. |

Not quite at best on last two turf starts but now only 2lb higher than when leading close home at Kempton (1m) in May, and this longer trip won't be a problem; a possible. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of minor honours this term, mostly at 1m4f; one 1m6f attempt casts doubt on him over this new trip and it's hard to ignore that this is his 31st attempt to get off the mark. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Largely running well this season but only eighth of 12 in 1m4f Newcastle handicap last month; more is needed if he's to gain a first win at the 30th attempt. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

28-race maiden but he has been running with credit, finishing in the frame on his last eight starts; acts on AW and he makes more appeal than some. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Has been placed in five of his six starts here, winning twice, including over this distance; must be feared and should be on the shortlist. |

5th 10 (2) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Made all at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month and was placed off today's mark there (good to soft) a fortnight ago; has run well here before but needs a career best today; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
14/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Leicester regular (course form 52121); chinned on penultimate start, but made all over C&D (beating Pisanello) subsequently; a 3lb rise is effectively negated by the claim of Harry Vigors; obvious chance in added cheekpieces if handling these easier ground conditions. |

11st 4lb |
Very modest on the Flat nowadays and tailed off last month on her first two hurdle starts; a transformation is needed. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 11f Flat winner but she was hooded when a well-held fifth on her yard/hurdling debut in 2m Doncaster maiden 15 days ago; in good hands though so not written off. |
40/1 |
|
5th 4 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 1m3f Flat winner but she ended her time with Tony Forbes below par last autumn; starts out over hurdles now for the in-form Jennie Candlish yard so can't be discounted; hood (tried once in 2023) is refitted. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Well held after racing too freely at Haydock (11.6f) recently and now 0-20 but ran quite well when fourth under Lauren Frost on last month's stable debut at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm), and his jockey (three wins from 35 rides under rules) is by far the most experienced in this race. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
19-race maiden, 15 of those for Brian Ellison; made a respectable start for new yard four weeks ago but he's 3lb out of the handicap today and needs much more like his best form of previous campaigns. |
25/1 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
18-race maiden, the last 15 of these for Brian Ellison; sold 16 days ago for £3,500; with this season's form not as good as last term's, it looks like he's best watched. |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Some mixed results this year but he wasn't far away over C&D (good to firm) in June and was as close as he's ever been to a first win when beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m2f) last week; on the premises. |
7/1 |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-19; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; that headgear combination was swapped for a hood when a respectable fourth at Leicester (also 1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drop back to this trip not an obvious plus. |
